Fire
Flames lick the sky, burning bright
Raging fire, a force of might
In the city streets, the buildings ablaze
The hood's on fire, a heated maze
Smoke fills the air, can barely breathe
But I still walk, with my head held high and free
This is my home, where I was raised
No matter the fire, my spirit will not be phased
Fire in my heart, fire in my soul
Grit and determination, that's how we roll
From the ashes we'll rise, like a phoenix reborn
Our flames will never die, we'll continue to scorn
The system that tries to keep us down
But we won't back down, we'll stand our ground
We'll fight for our rights, we'll fight for our lives
With every breath, we'll keep the fire alive
From the streets to the stage, our voices roar
Raw and unapologetic, we'll even the score
We are the fire, the ones they fear
But we'll keep burning bright, year after year
So let the flames rage, let them burn
We'll rise from the ashes, we'll never learn
Because we are fire, we are raw and true
This is America, and we'll do what we do.
